Cite, please. No, not a blog. An actual authority, as I requested.
Again -- where are the authorities for endangered species?

Sure, anybody can make one of these:

http://www.endangeredfishalliance.org/orangeroughy.htm

They list four fish.

I'm not arguing that the orange roughy is not endangered. I honestly
don't know. But it seems odd that my usual chain supermarket is selling
it. That's why I'm asking for something more authoritative than what I've
found so far.
